Nice.
The grand daddy of them all, to the best of my memory, is "America Held Hostage". This was a nightly show during the hostage crisis at the US embassy in Iran. The brand image later morphed into Nightline with Ted Koppel.
Yes--that show "made" Ted Koppel and brought down Jimmy Carter. It was the beginning of All Monica All the Time-type coverage. At the time, I couldn't understand it--the USS Pueblo crew had been held captive for a year-and-a-half by the North Koreans (in 1969), but there was no daily media drumbeat, as there was with Iran. "Day 33....Day 274...." and all that. The only way it made sense was that the military-industrial complex had decided that it was time for Carter to go, and used its media wing (ABC) to dispatch him by creating a public obsession. I still hate Ted Koppel for his role in all that, and blame him for 8 years of Reagan.
